Question

The volume of a pyramid is 240 cubic centimeters. The pyramid has a rectangular base with sides 6cm by 4cm. Find the altitude and lateral surface area of the pyramid if the pyramid has equal lateral edges​

Answer 1

Answer:

altitude = 30 cm

lateral surface area = 301 cm² (approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the altitude be x,

240=6*4*x/3

or, x=30 cm

Lateral surface area,

=l×√(w/2)²+h²]+w×√[(l/2)²+h²]

=6×√[(4/2)²+30²]+4×√[(6/2)²+30²]

≈300.99806

≈ 301 cm²
